Hi, I want to teach English in Japan - I have a bachelors degree (in English literature) and about to start a CELTA course to study TESOL. My partner is also keen - he is French but fluent in English but no degree and is also looking to do the CELTA course but he has a working holiday visa (I don't because I'm too old!! haha)
After that, I'm not sure where to start!!
Any advice on what location is good for placement, what type of school, how much money is a good salary, and where to go about finding a job would be much appreciated!! We would like to live together (I've noticed some offer accomm but for single occupancy only).
And the other thing is, we want to move over in Feb 2015 - is this a good time to start?
Thanks!!
